Durov arrest exposes ‘upside-down’ West – Serbian leader

 

The Telegram founder was treated as a free-speech champion when it suited Western interests, Aleksandar Vucic has said

 

Speaking on a newscast on Monday evening, Vucic said that Durov’s case was “interesting” and compared him to the persecution of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.

 

“Back in 2018, when Russia put some mild legal pressure on him, some 26 groups from the West signed a petition to the Russian state to stop violating his freedom. Fast forward five or six years, and it’s perfectly normal [for them] to have him arrested and want to shut down Telegram in the West,” Vucic said.

 

“Everything has gone topsy-turvy, reality itself has been changed to fit their interests.”

Gov. Jeff Landry Signs New Executive Order Forcing Louisiana’s DMV to Share Non-Citizen Data with Secretary of State — Also Mandates Citizenship Notice for Voter Registration

 

The order references the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which grants citizenship to natural-born and naturalized citizens, while also asserting that the government cannot deny life, liberty, property, or due process to these individuals.

 

The Governor’s proclamation comes at a time when concerns over election integrity are at an all-time high, particularly in light of the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of border security.

 

Since taking office, the Biden administration has witnessed over 7.8 million illegal border crossings, with at least 1.5 million “gotaways”—individuals detected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection but who evaded capture. This alarming trend raises serious questions about who is eligible to participate in our electoral process.

 

Governor Landry’s order reaffirms that only those who have legally obtained U.S. citizenship can register and vote in Louisiana elections. Citing both federal law and Louisiana’s state constitution, the executive order aims to close loopholes that could allow unauthorized immigrants to influence local and state elections.

 

“Today, I’m going to sign an executive order that states that all Louisiana agencies, while they must offer voter registration with every application for service assistance, are going to make sure that they inform people it is illegal to register to vote if you’re not a citizen,” Landry said during the press conference.

 

“Our agencies are providing voter registration forms. We’re going to make sure that they don’t provide voter registration forms to those who are undocumented and illegally in this country.”

 

“This order will be in the form of a disclaimer on the declaration form. Just because you receive a voter registration form doesn’t mean you’re eligible to vote. This executive order makes it explicitly clear when applying for public assistance or state-funded programs exactly what the laws are in this state.”

 

Louisiana’s Office of Motor Vehicles is also now required to share the names of non-citizens and non-permanent residents with the Secretary of State’s Office following the signing of a new executive order.

Pakistan: Over 70 Dead As Gunmen Storm Highways, Execute Civilians In 24 Hours Of Terror

 

A massive coordinated terror attack on several locations in southwestern Pakistan has left at least 70 dead over a 24-hour period of terror which started Sunday night.

 

The attacks were the work of a separatist group called the Baluch Liberation Army (BLA), which claimed responsibility. It started with bombings and gunfire targeting a national military camp in Pakistan’s Baluchistan Province, which left at least one soldier dead.

 

In the same area, gunmen stormed four police stations, setting vehicles on fire. By morning, a key bridge in the area was also attacked and destroyed. But the situation escalated when militants attacked a major highway in a town called Bela. They intercepted traffic and then proceeded to execute people, reports say.

 

Several groups of BLA gunmen went on a rampage, and other motorways were targeted as well, seemingly at random, though authorities say in some instances the attackers were seeking to kill individuals of specific ethnic groups.

 

"Vehicles travelling to and from Punjab were inspected, and individuals from Punjab were identified and shot," a regional report indicates.

 

Many of the reported dead are the militants themselves, amid a heavy police and military response. A list of some of the major attacks are as follows:

 

The country’s military said 14 soldiers and police, as well as 21 militants, were killed in fighting after the largest of the attacks, which targeted vehicles on a major highway in Bela, a town in Lasbela district.

 

In a separate attack in Musakhel district, local officials said at least 23 civilians were killed after attackers determined they were from Punjab, with 35 vehicles set ablaze.

 

And in Kalat, 10 people were reported to have been killed – five police and five civilians – after a police post and a highway were attacked.

 

In some places, the dead and wounded are still being accounted for, with recovered bodies being examined for identification.

Gaza breakdown: 20 times Israel used US arms in likely war crimes

 

The following cases represent a small fraction of potential human rights violations committed with American planes, shells, and bombs

 

The Biden administration recently approved five major arms sales to Israel for F-15 fighter aircraft, tank ammunition, tactical vehicles, air-to-air missiles, mortar rounds, and related equipment for each. Though technically sales, most if not all of this matériel is paid for by U.S. taxpayers — Israel uses much of the military aid Congress approves for it effectively as a gift card to buy U.S.-made weapons.

 

The total value of the five weapons sales exceeds $20.3 billion.

 

More extraordinary than the price tag of these arms deals is that the White House made them public. Prior to last week’s announcements, it had disclosed just two arms sales to Israel. By March, the Biden administration had already greenlit more than 100 separate weapons deals for Israel, or about one every 36 hours, on average. The administration presumably kept the value of each arms deal “under threshold” to avoid having to notify Congress.

 

From 2017 to 2019, the U.S. had approved thousands of below-threshold arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates worth a total of $11.2 billion. Exploiting this loophole helped the Trump administration avoid scrutiny of its enabling of a devastating and indiscriminate bombing campaign in Yemen. The Biden administration appears to be following the same playbook for the destruction it is enabling in Gaza.

 

The White House isn’t shy about publicizing arms transfers to other countries. For example, it has been very transparent about the military aid it sent Ukraine since February 2022. Biden promotes arming Ukraine as industrial policy, marketing the military aid as a boon for domestic manufacturing and jobs. The Pentagon not only itemizes what specific matériel the U.S. sends to Ukraine, but also shows on a map where in the U.S. those weapons and equipment are made.

 

By contrast, nearly all the publicly available information on U.S. arms transfers to Israel comes from leaks reported by the media. The Biden administration says very little about the weapons it delivers to Israel or how the Israeli military uses them. The following analysis is intended to shed light on both. In doing so, it helps explain why the Biden administration prefers to arm Israel in secret.

 

 

 

What follows is a non-exhaustive list of attacks by the Israeli military since October 7 that likely violated international law, grouped by the type of U.S.-supplied weapon involved in the attack.

 

In order for an attack to be listed below, there must be sufficient evidence that it violated international law. In all of the following cases, it’s at least more likely than not that the attack was a violation. Many of them almost certainly were in breach of international law. This is a very high threshold — as former State Department lawyer Brian Finucane wrote in Foreign Affairs, “The law of war permits vast death and destruction. This is true even under restrictive interpretations of the law.”

 

Furthermore, in order for an attack to be listed, there must be concrete forensic evidence that a U.S.-supplied weapon was likely used to commit the probable violation of international law. Only the types of weapons the U.S. has reportedly delivered to Israel since October 7 are considered. This report draws from forensic investigations that have been conducted by reputable international organizations, civil society groups, media outlets, and independent analysts.

October 25, 2023: Israeli airstrikes flattened at least 5,700 square meters in the Al Yarmouk neighborhood of Gaza City, killing at least 91 people, including 39 children. A U.N. assessment determined that “several” 2,000-pound GBU-31s air-dropped munitions were likely dropped by Israeli forces in the attack. According to a report from U.N. OHCHR, “The use of a GBU-31 or a GBU-32, in such densely populated areas in the middle of residential neighborhoods when extensive civilian harm would be foreseeable, raises very serious concerns that those attacks were disproportionate and/or indiscriminate, and that no or insufficient precautions were taken.”

October 31, 2023: After Israeli airstrikes on Jabalia, Gaza’s largest refugee camp, a nearby hospital said it received 400 casualties, including 120 dead, most of whom were women and children. An analysis of the site showed at least five craters, the largest one likely from a GBU-31. The GBU-31 is made from a JDAM and either a 2,000-pound BLU-109 or MK-84 bomb. According to reports, Israeli forces gave no warning before the attack, and no effort was made to evacuate the residential buildings. U.N. OHCHR said the attack on Jabalia refugee camp could amount to a war crime.

January 13, 2024: Israeli forces dropped a U.S.-made MK-84 2,000-pound bomb from a U.S.-made F-16 aircraft on a house in Deir al-Balah but it didn’t explode. A second airstrike did destroy the home, leaving an approximately 40-foot size crater, characteristic of a 2,000-pound bomb with a delayed fuse. The Israeli military had designated Deir al-Balah as a safe zone in October. Israeli forces instructed Palestinians in northern Gaza to flee there on December 11 and told Palestinians in central Gaza the same thing on December 22. By mid-January, Israeli bombing had leveled entire city blocks and dozens of family homes in Deir al-Balah.

Australian Federal Police charge 28 former immigration detainees with 90 federal offences since March visa reissue

 

The Labor government has faced calls to enforce emergency preventative detention powers as data obtained by SkyNews.com.au revealed former immigration detainees have committed at least 90 federal offences since March.

 

The decision to reissue these visas in March followed the government’s mistake in granting invalid visas to about 150 former detainees released by the NZYQ High Court ruling against indefinite detention of non-deportable individuals, including criminals.

 

These former detainees included seven murderers, 37 sex offenders, and 72 violent offenders, among them child rapists and people smugglers.

Canada Hits China With 100% Tariff On Electric Cars

 

Who needs Trump for an all-out trade war between the West and China.

 

Taking a page out of Europe's playbook, Canada will impose staggering new tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, aluminum and steel, lining up behind western allies and taking steps to protect domestic manufacturers.

 

Speaking in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he was gathered with the rest of his cabinet for a series of meetings about the economy and foreign relations Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled the new policy which consists of a 100% levy on electric cars and 25% on steel and aluminum. The EV tariff will take effect Oct. 1 and will also include certain hybrid passenger automobiles, trucks, buses and delivery vans. It will be added to an existing 6.1% tariff that applies to Chinese EVs, the government said in a news release.

 

The levies on aluminum and steel will come into place Oct. 15. The government released an initial list of goods on Monday and the public will have a chance to comment before it is finalized on Oct. 1.

Hundreds of Former Aides to Bush, Romney, and McCain Endorse Harris=

 

Hundreds of former aides who served under Republican lawmakers endorsed Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that “another four years” of a Trump administration would “hurt real, everyday” Americans.

 

In a letter that USA Today obtained, a group of more than 200 former aides for former President George W. Bush, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), and former Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) write that they are reuniting and joining with former staffers for former President George H.W. Bush to endorse Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).

 

“We reunite today, joined by new George H.W. Bush alumni, to reinforce our 2020 statements and, for the first time, jointly declare that we’re voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz this November,” the letter states.

Alexander Vindman’s Warning To Musk Exposes The Dark Underbelly Of Supposedly ‘Liberal’ Values

 

France arrested Telegram founder Pavel Durov on Saturday and the Deep State’s favorite dancing monkey could not be happier.

 

Alexander Vindman, the national security “expert” of impeachment fame, now has a warning for anyone who would resist the coming storm of censorship.

 

Durov was “arrested for violating French law,” Vindman wrote on X, but the arrest has “broader implications.” It’s just the beginning; there’s a “growing appetite” for this sort of thing. “Musk should be nervous,” he concluded, forebodingly.

 

Of course, Vindman is just the id of the liberal establishment. He’s saying the quiet part out loud.

 

As Vindman notes in another tweet, France is ostensibly going after Durov for “all manner of criminal activity, including child porn” allegedly on the platform. But it’s obviously just a pretext. Durov refused to bow to Vladimir Putin and censor speech on his platform in Russia. He fled to the West thinking it’d be safe. But now the supposedly liberal West is doing what even Putin wouldn’t: they arrested him because he won’t silence dissenting voices.

 

So while Vindman himself is a two-bit toady, he’s right in the long-run. Durov’s Telegram is mostly a threat to the Russia-Ukraine narrative. While Western elites love waging a good foreign proxy war, this won’t ultimately hurt their bottom line. Musk’s Twitter, on the other hand, has the power to shape the narrative back in the West.

 

Twitter is an existential threat to the regime’s power across the West. And you can be they’re not finished with Elon Musk just yet.

United States Attorney’s Office Issues Statement on the Passing of Lynn Crooks

 

Fargo – United States Attorney for the District of North Dakota Mac Schneider today issued the following statement on the passing of Lynn Crooks, a former long-time federal prosecutor with the United States Attorney’s Office:

 

The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of North Dakota is mourning the loss of Lynn Crooks, a beloved colleague to many of our attorneys and staff and arguably the greatest prosecutor in the history of North Dakota.

 

During more than three decades of service to the Department of Justice and the District of North Dakota, Lynn served as Criminal Chief, Civil Chief, First Assistant United States Attorney, and Acting United States Attorney. He was a jack of all trades and a master at it all, twice receiving the prestigious Director’s Award for Superior Achievement.

 

While North Dakota will remember Lynn for prosecuting challenging and consequential federal cases of national prominence, his colleagues will remember him as a kind and generous man who was never too busy to help a friend or mentor a young attorney. Personally, my family and I will never forget his comforting words at the memorial service for United States Attorney John Schneider after he passed away following a cancer diagnosis over 20 years ago.

 

Relatively few attorneys have had the privilege of representing the United States in federal court. Virtually none of them did it better than Lynn Crooks. He will be missed dearly.

Mnuchin’s Mysterious Link to Epstein's Modeling Scout

 

The Treasury secretary’s name shows up on official records for a company formed in the 1980s by Jeffrey Epstein’s close friend, the model scout Jean-Luc Brunel.

 

In the late 1980s—before he was a member of Donald Trump’s Cabinet, or even a high-rolling hedge-fund manager—Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin served in an official capacity for a business run by one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most infamous associates.

 

In official records, Mnuchin is listed as the official state point of contact for Next Management Corporation, a company formed in 1988 by modeling-industry insiders Jean-Luc Brunel and Arnaud Brunel. At the time, Jean-Luc Brunel had just been the subject of a 60 Minutes documentary accusing him of drugging and raping at least three models. Later, he would be accused by two women of supplying girls to Epstein to be sexually abused. (Brunel has denied the allegations.)

 

Records accessed by The Daily Beast list Mnuchin as the New York Department of State process for Next Management Corporation. According to department officials, the DOS process is the person who files a company’s registration papers and receives lawsuits and other official documents on their behalf—usually a lawyer or some other legal representative.

 

A Treasury Department official said Mnuchin did not know he was listed as the DOS process for Next Management Corp. before The Daily Beast’s inquiry. He said it was “not clear” how Mnuchin wound up serving in that role and added that the secretary did not recall ever meeting either Brunel brother and had never done business with either of them.

 

Mnuchin’s office did confirm that he was longtime friends with Faith Kates, the owner of the Next modeling agency. The Brunel brothers co-founded the Next agency with Kates in 1989, and their company, Next Management Corp., owned a 25 percent stake in the agency for several years. The address listed under Mnuchin’s name in the state department records is the first address for Kates’ company, Next Management Company.

Epstein Connection to CIA and DynCorp

 

Disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is being charged as a child molester molestation involving "dozens of minor girls" as young as 14 between 2002 and 2005, according to an unsealed indictment released by prosecutors.

 

This is a separate from last weeks court order for documents which may contain the names of high-level individuals. The indictment says he "sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes in Manhattan… and Palm Beach."

 

Epstein apparently used recruiters to help him create "a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm Beach". Receruiters are how these sex trafficking groups and sex cults like NXIVM work. Miami Herald Investigative Reporter Julie K. Brown mentioned how there are many more victims who she hopes come forward.

 

"They were taken advantage of by someone who knew how to prey upon them and groom them to do things he wanted them to do."

 

The Miami Herald previously exposed how the current U.S. labor secretary Alex Acosta violated federal law he swore to uphold when he gave Epstein the deal without clearing it with his victims.

 

"The Miami Herald last year published a series of articles reporting that the top federal prosecutor in southern Florida at the time, Alex Acosta, worked with Epstein’s lawyers to fashion the deal. Acosta, now the U.S. labor secretary, violated federal law when he failed to clear the federal non-prosecution agreement with many of Epstein’s alleged victims, a federal judge ruled in February."

 

The Herald apparently found 60 victims, some who were 14 and 15 years old, who were also trafficked with 25 to 30 others.

 

The sex trafficking network has connections to the CIA and DynCorp. A special report on Occurrences: Foreign and Domestic identified Epstein's suspected trafficking vehicle, a small plane, which had the "same tail number as a State department Bronco used under contract by DynCorp." This is the same plane that was involve din DynCorp sex trafficking of minors in the Balkans.

 

Most of the business DynCorp had by 2003 came from the CIA. Wired wrote of the importance of DynCorp in 2003:

 

DynCorp represents nothing less than the future of national security. While outfits like Raytheon make their money developing weapons systems, DynCorp offers the military an alternative to itself. In 2002, the company took in $2.3 billion doing what you probably thought was Pentagon work. DynCorp planes and pilots fly the defoliation missions that are the centerpiece of Plan Colombia.

 

Armed DynCorp employees constitute the core of the police force in Bosnia. DynCorp troops protect Afghan president Hamid Karzai. DynCorp manages the border posts between the US and Mexico, many of the Pentagon's weapons-testing ranges, and the entire Air Force One fleet of presidential planes and helicopters. During the Persian Gulf War, it was DynCorp employees, not soldiers, who serviced and rearmed American combat choppers, and it's DynCorp's people, not military personnel, who late last year began "forward deploying" equipment and ammunition to the Middle East in preparation for war with Iraq.

 

DynCorp inventories everything seized by the Justice Department's Asset Forfeiture Program, runs the Naval Air Warfare Center at Patuxent River, Maryland, and is producing the smallpox and anthrax vaccines the government may use to inoculate everyone in the United States.

 

It stands to reason that the CIA was involved in sex trafficking as part of their operations at the time, possibly for their own operatives or other soldiers who had these perverted predilections. The operation may have been multi-national, with who knows how many planes trafficking girls in various areas of the world for sexual exploitation by the powerful rich or military men.

US: DynCorp Disgrace

Publisher Name:

Insight Magazine

Article Author:

Kelly Patricia O'Meara

Monday, January 14, 2002

 

Middle-aged men having sex with 12- to 15-year-olds was too much for Ben

Johnston, a hulking 6-foot-5-inch Texan, and more than a year ago he blew

the whistle on his employer, DynCorp, a U.S. contracting company doing

business in Bosnia.

 

According to the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) lawsuit filed in Texas on behalf of the former DynCorp aircraft mechanic, "in the latter part of 1999 Johnston learned that employees and supervisors from DynCorpwere engaging in perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior [and] were purchasing illegal weapons, women, forged passports and [participating in other immoral acts.

Johnston witnessed coworkers and supervisors literally

buying and selling women for their own personal enjoyment, and employees

would brag about the various ages and talents of the individual slaves they

had purchased."

 

Rather than acknowledge and reward

Johnston's effort to get this behavior

stopped, DynCorp fired him, forcing him into protective custody by the U.S.

Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) until the investigators could get him safely out of Kosovo and returned to the

United States. That departure from the war-torn country was a far cry from what

Johnston imagined a year earlier when he arrived in

Bosnia to begin a three-year U.S. Air Force contract with DynCorp as an aircraft-maintenance technician for Apache and Blackhawk helicopters.

 

For more than 50 years DynCorp, based in

Reston, Va., has been a worldwide force providing maintenance support to the

U.S. military through contract field teams (CFTs). As one of the federal government's top 25 contractors, DynCorp has received nearly $1 billion since 1995 for these services and has deployed 181 personnel to

Bosnia during the last six years. Although DynCorp long has been respected for such work, according to

Johnston and internal DynCorp communications it appears that extracurricular sexcapades on the part of its employees were tolerated by some as part of its business in

Bosnia.

 

But DynCorp was nervous. For instance, an internal e-mail from DynCorp

employee Darrin Mills, who apparently was sent to

Bosnia to look into reported problems, said, "I met with Col. Braun [a base supervisor] yesterday. He is very concerned about the CID investigation; however, he views it mostly as a DynCorp problem. What he wanted to talk about most was how I am going to fix the maintenance problems here and how the investigation is going to impact our ability to fix his airplanes." The Mills e-mail continued: "The first

thing he told me is that 'they are tired of having smoke blown up their ass.'

They don't want anymore empty promises."

 

An e-mail from Dyncorp's

Bosnia site supervisor, John Hirtz (later fired for

alleged sexual indiscretions), explains DynCorp's position in

Bosnia. "The

bottom line is that DynCorp has taken what used to be a real positive program that has very high visibility with every Army unit in the world and turned it into a bag of worms. Poor quality was the major issue."

 

Johnston was on the ground and saw firsthand what the military was

complaining about. "My main problem," he explains, "was [sexual

misbehavior] with the kids, but I wasn't too happy with them ripping off the

government, either. DynCorp is just as immoral and elite as possible, and any rule they can break they do. There was this one guy who would hide parts so we would have to wait for parts and, when the military would question why it was taking so long, he'd pull out the part and say 'Hey, you need to install this.' They'd have us replace windows in helicopters that weren't bad just to get paid. They had one kid, James Harlin, over there who was right out of high school and he didn't even know the names and purposes of the basic tools. Soldiers that are paid $18,000 a year know more than this kid, but this is the way they [DynCorp] grease their pockets. What they say in
